Data Engineering

Coming from a grand belief of data democratization, I believe that in order for any team to be successful collaborators, it has to be data centric and data should be accessible to all.
*To ensure that your non software or software engineering centric team has maximum efficiency, data should be visible, data lake should be accessible.
*Form a database for analytics summaries, talk about the different technologies(SQL, NoSQL) cost of deployment, need, team driven structure. Build an API for this database for external/inter team crosstalk.
*Build analytics and visual layer on top of it. Flask/Django/Node, etc.., to enable the team to have high visibility in their analysis, and to ensure a higher turnaround of data.
*Talk about an easy way of enabling the team to run code, could be local/cloud, JupyterHub is a great way of doing so, talk about the tremendous value added in that and the potential it enables
*Talk about the common tools user for version control/CICD/Coding technologies, etc..
*Finally summarize the value of the mixture of all these tools and technologies in order to ensure the maximum efficiency.
